"The idea was not of great enough importance. ! The idea was premature. ! The idea was too overwhelming." -Beyond the Silos of the LAMs http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2008/2008-05.pdf

"It happens two ways—when the place is little enough and the stakes are low enough so the price invested can be done in paper and pencil and scotch tape. And the other way is when you have a director who has so much guts and can charm the pants off the trees and is willing to lose their job." -Elaine Gurian http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2007/07/book-club-part-3b-talking-institutional.html

MISSION? WHAT MISSION?

We should do X because it will allow us to better fulfill Y aspect of our mission by Z.

Yerba Buena Center for the Arts aspires to be a center of creativity within the Bay Area; one that is recognized globally and locally for its dedication to artistic innovation, its imagination in the exploration of ideas and its sustained commitment to creatively engaging our community in the contemporary art experience. Inspired by living artists, we seek to create through them and with them a fully integrated center of artistic inquiry that embraces diverse aesthetics and ideas. We are courageous in pursuit of our aspirations, bold in carrying out our work and fearless in our commitment to place contemporary art at the heart of community life.
